The stars talk about CMT's 1st Annual Artists Of The Year Special! video

Several artists have made a splash in the country music scene this year and CMT took the time to recognise the top five artists in the first annual "Artists of the Year" special. The selection of the artists was based on a variety of different facts including album sales, popularity and chart positions. Not only did these five artists receive a trophy for their achievements, but they had special meals prepared for them by some of the top chefs in American and watched some great artists perform a cover of their hit song. Darius Rucker was joined by international superstar Adele performing a cover of Lady Antebellum's multi-genre hit single "Need You Now," while Maroon 5 serenaded Taylor Swift with her current single "Mine" while good friend Hayley Williams of Paramore presented her with the award. Other honorees of the evening included Jason Aldean, Carrie Underwood and the Zac Brown Band. We have posted a preview clip of the ceremony below.
